McVac company truck came just to clean the catch basin as they did many times in the past. But, I think didn't work.
I believe the problem is a collapsed brick made channel or sewer pipe damaged underneath the road.

Good morning. I will forward the photos/concerns to the Department of Public Works in hopes of them cleaning the catch basins sooner then later. Once I receive a response from their director and/or staff I will post.

This problem has been reported to the city many time before, the problems is bigger than just vacuum the catch basin. I think they need a more advance and professional study to come up with a real solution. I lived around the area for 8 years and seem to me the problem is getting bigger.

As a owner of a nearby house (57 Main St) I always keep the catch basin constantly clean, picking up the trash from the entire corner as well. I've been doing this for about 12 years. So I don't think just vacuum the catch basin will solve this issue. It's necessary a serious inspection to the whole system (residential and commercial sewer connections around the corner) to find the problem. An initial robotic pipe inspection could be a good option.

Maybe will be a good idea to let them know with what department (s) you have been in contact over the years in the past and how many times they come with the same Mc Vac truck. I didn’t realize the commercial sewer connections are just a few houses away from you. Also, now I remember that we talked about this on going problem with the mayor John DeStefano in one of neighbor’s meeting. Did you send the photos and documentation he asked you to send?

Normally the Department of Public Works clean the catch basins. I have called Howard W. who is the Deputy Director and they should be looking into both matters. The catch basin at Main & Alton and the one at Monroe & Alton.
